Revainrating 5 out of 5

I’m very impressed by this G900 Mirror Dash Cam and Rear Cam

I am VERY impressed with the G900 Mirror Dash Cam (Front & Rear). Previously I had the G850 Mirror Cam and they packed more features into the G900.Here are my Pros and Cons:Pros:Camera (picture) quality is very sharp, colors are perfect. There are 2 resolution settings;Front & Rear = 24 FPS; 2160P + 1440P - a little jerky during playback because of the details in the picturesFront & Rear = 30 FPS; 1440P + 1440P - smoother playback since more frames per secondDownload the FREE WolfBox Player or play the recordings directly from any video player that supports .MP4 files (most players do)Both of the camera’s day or night recordings are extremely sharp and can easily read license platesAbundant Settings to control the camerasLoop Recording increments of 1- or 3- or 5-minute segments, oldest recordings are overwritten by the newest recordings128 GB card = approx. 11 hours of recordings before being overwritten. but since it loops you could get by with a smaller card. The 128 GB SD mini card is around $17 on ebay for Samsung U3 A2 V30.Audio quality seemed fine. Can hear my music, any talking, and engine acceleratingPower connection is the "C-type” USB which allows you to run the power wire from the right side OR the left sideHardwire Kit required for Parking Mode and IMO is a MUST HAVE as it turns off the camera when you get out, but still supplies power to record if the Parking Mode G-Force sensor is triggered and it doesn’t drain your car battery.The Rear Camera includes a red wire that connects to any reverse light that shows the back-up lines when in ReverseI put this camera in my Silverado 2500 Long Bed Crew Cab mounted to the inside rear-view mirror. There was plenty of extra wire for the power (both in the supplied cigarette lighter and also the hardwire kit). For the rear camera cabling I used the 33-foot (10 meters) extension cable and it was enough to run from the rear-view mirror, into the door molding to go outside and under the truck, hiding the wire all the way to the bumper with plenty of cable left over. Thankfully they include a plastic trim spacer tool that helps tuck the wire into the trim moldings.Easy to deploy firmware updatesI love the 12-inch display (inside mirror) for the picture quality and also the Touch Screen for selecting the various options.Fantastic Customer Support responds within 24 hours to each email and are genuinely concerned, kudos!Cons:Hardwire Kit, took a little over an hour to install, but worked perfectly the first timeI initially had an issue with playback on Windows 10 desktop using GPS Player or using WolfBox Player had no audio. I finally discovered a setting for Spatial Sound (new in Win10) set to OFF by default. Change setting to "Windows Sonic" or to "Dolby Atmos" and that allowed the audio to play perfectly. Search Google for how to easily change that setting for Windows 10.Hope this review helps someone deciding if this camera is right for them.

Pros
  • WOLFBOX camera comes with a backup battery to prevent loss of footage if there is a power failure
Cons
  • Night vision may produce an artificially green hue, making it difficult to distinguish colors
